Metal Fang

Let’s
face it…

Planning
a dinner party can be a stressful event.

If
you ever found yourself in need of advice, however, it can be reasoned that someone like Dr. Hannibal Lecter
would be more than happy to offer you his assurances, reminding you that it’s
always nice to “have an old friend for dinner”.

Nikolai Dzhumagaliev,
on the other hand, would probably tell you that prostitutes go better with the gravy.

Nikolai Dzhumagaliev was
born in 1952, a native of modern-day Kazakhstan. Dzhumagaliev lived a
relatively normal life until 1971, when –struck by inspiration to rid the world
of prostitutes- he went on a rampage, slaughtering a number of women throughout
the Soviet Union.

His modus operandi
consisted of luring, raping, and slaughtering his victims with an axe or knife… not necessarily
in that order. He is then reported to have cooked them up into “finger food”,
or even use their flesh to prepare an elaborate “manti” dish that he would then serve to guests in his home.
His nickname, the “Metal Fang”, comes from his eerily appropriate white metal
teeth.

Dzhumagaliev was finally
brought into custody in the early 1980’s (after an acquaintance at one of his
own dinner parties found some unusual produce in his refrigerator). He was
diagnosed with severe schizophrenia, and committed to a mental institution,
which he then escaped from in 1989.

Dzhumagaliev was re-apprehended
two years later while attempting to butcher another girl, but has since been
released. His whereabouts are currently unknown, although it is been suggested
that he still resides in Eastern Europe.

He was charged with
seven cases of first-degree murder in all, though many people speculate his
actual death-count could be very close to 100.
